The Gallipoli campaign placed troops in difficult terrain under constant pressure. Beach landings, improvised defences and the endurance of Australian and other Allied forces form the heart of many displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSailor with  Boathook, Gallipoli 1915 draws attention to the maritime side of the Gallipoli landings.
